It also highlights the importance of implementing evidence-based interventions and setting out a clear evaluation plan from the outset to demonstrate impact and continuous improvement.<\/p>\n<p>Institutions are encouraged to identify their current level of capacity honestly, begin with achievable and impactful actions, and build progressively over time. The process aims to support a coordinated, sustainable approach that strengthens wellbeing and fosters a culture of wellbeing across the institution.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nus.edu.sg\/hwb\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/IARU-WOU-Guideline-for-student-wellbeing.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\tDownload the IARU Whole-of-University Approach Guideline for Student Wellbeing\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Across the world, universities are recognising that health and wellbeing are not peripheral to their mission, but foundational to enabling students to flourish academically, socially, and personally.
